And thank you for that clarification as well Face. At least for me the issue is becoming clearer.

Baghdadi may be buried at sea by US military
From CNN's Barbara Starr
A source familiar tells CNN that the body of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may be disposed at sea.
White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien on NBC’s “Meet the Press” said he expected the US to follow the same protocol as Osama Bin Laden. The Al-Qaeda leader was killed in 2011 raid in Pakistan by US Navy SEALs and was buried at sea.
Appearing on "Meet the Press," O’Brien said Baghdadi’s “body will be disposed of properly.”
Asked if the US would follow the same protocol as bin laden, O’Brien said, “I would expect that to be the case.”

Now that is a very interesting point. If he really is dead, and he really was so anti American and really such a bad guy, I would suspect he would have done just as you pointed out, taken out some Americans along with him.

I'm glad the guy is dead, sad about his 3 kids tho. I just think the official story has been embellished.

Bury the body at sea. ? If he killed himself with a suicide vest, just what kind of suicide vest could it have been. Maybe a vest that puncured him all over with little needles or shot a bullet into his heart from a derringer hidden in the pocket.
But isn't the whole idea of those suicide vests to take out as many people as possible along with the wearer? Was there a big explosion that our troops were far enough away from that they were not in jeopardy? And if it was a regular suicide vest, then what the hell could be left of his body to bury at sea?

You seem stuck in a rut here DB. I asked a simple question with published information on both sides of the issue.
No comment either way, just an unbiased posting of headlines. But you seem to consider that any questioning of Trump means ''Trump Bad''. So I ask you, do you ever question him? Do you ever find anything he does that makes you wonder about his abilities or his honesty?
TRUMPOTUS is oppositational. Clever guy!

Russia says it didn't know anything about it. But I believe them about as much as I do my own President.
"Russia’s defense ministry has no reliable information about an operation by US forces in the Turkey-controlled part of the Idlib de-escalation zone aimed at another extermination of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi," he said.
He said that the fact that the number of those who say about their participation in al-Baghdadi’s extermination and share contradictory details of the operation make one doubt that such an operation ever took place.

So Trump hid it from the Russians.
Much like he hid it from Pelosi.
Smart man Trump is.
No sense screwing up the mission by letting enemies of America find out and leak it.

Forensic investigation
Suicide bombers who wear the vests are often obliterated by the explosion; the best evidence of their identity is the head, which often survives because it is separated and thrown clear of the body by the explosion. Journalist Joby Warrick conjectured: "The vest's tight constraints and the positioning of the explosive pouches would channel the energy of the blast outward, toward whoever stood directly in front of him. Some of that energy wave would inevitably roll upward, ripping the bomber's body apart at its weakest point, between the neck bones and lower jaw. It accounts for the curious phenomenon in which suicide bombers' heads are severed clean at the moment of detonation and are later found in a state of perfect preservation several yards away from the torso's shredded remains."

Nice work President Trump.
Getting the leader of the most dangerous terrorist organization in the world is a great thing.
Now it’s time to start to work on the 2nd most dangerous terrorist organization...the Democrats.
